What should be used for deactivation and decontamination in hazardous drug compounding areas?

  1. Sterile water

  2. 2% bleach or peroxide

  3. 70% IPA

  4. No specific agent

The correct answer is: 2% bleach or peroxide

Chemical agents such as 2% bleach or peroxide are recommended for use in the deactivation and decontamination of hazardous drug compounding areas. Sterile water is not sufficient for this purpose, as it does not effectively reduce surface contamination. 70% IPA (isopropyl alcohol) is also not recommended, as it does not have the same level of effectiveness as bleach or peroxide. Option D, no specific agent, is incorrect as it is important to use a specified and approved chemical agent for deactivation and decontamination in these areas to ensure safety and effectively reduce contamination.
